9 Skills for the New Economy

By Harry S. Dent, author of the national bestseller The Roaring 2000’s

In my experience, people skills and problem-solving skills can be divided into nine more specific behavioral skills for succeeding in the workplace. Because these skills originate in the right side of the brain, they are more like behaviors than functional skills as we normally think of them. Nothing wrong with that. The smartest managers I know hire their people based on behaviors that have proved to be effective in their best employees in the past, not as much on functional skills or resume check-offs.
